    I'm running Slackware64-current and had trouble installing
    Shorewall-4.5.2.x.&nbsp; The corresponding Shorewall-Core-4.5.2.x
    installs without a problem but shorewall-4.5.2.x itself would always
    give me the following error -<br>
    <br>

    Installing Shorewall Version 4.5.2<br>

    install: cannot stat `init.slackware.firewall': No such file or

    <br>
    After a lot of digging I discovered that the shorewall-core-4.5.2.x
    installs an incorrect .shorewallrc file in /root.&nbsp; I modified it and
    now it installs fine -<br>
    <br>
    Here is the .shorewallrc file that works -<br>
    <br>
    #<br>
    # Slackware Shorewall 4.5 rc file<br>
    #<br>
    BUILD=slackware<br>
    HOST=slackware<br>
    PREFIX=/usr #Top-level directory for shared files, libraries, etc.<br>
    SHAREDIR=${PREFIX}/share #Directory for arch-neutral files.<br>
    LIBEXECDIR=${PREFIX}/share #Directory for executable scripts.<br>
    PERLLIBDIR=${PREFIX}/share/shorewall #Directory to install Shorewall
    Perl module directory<br>
    CONFDIR=/etc #Directory where subsystem configurations are installed<br>
    SBINDIR=/sbin #Directory where system administration programs are
    installed<br>
    MANDIR=${PREFIX}/man #Directory where manpages are installed.<br>
    INITDIR=/etc/rc.d #Directory where SysV init scripts are installed.<br>
    INITSOURCE=init.slackware.shorewall.sh # THIS IS THE FIXED FILE
    ENTRY&nbsp;
    ------------------------------------------------------&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

    Look here<br>
    INITFILE=rc.firewall #Name of the product's installed SysV init
    script<br>
    AUXINITSOURCE=init.slackware.$PRODUCT #Name of the distributed file
    to be installed as a second SysV init script<br>
    AUXINITFILE=rc.$PRODUCT #Name of the product's installed second init
    script<br>
    SYSTEMD= #Name of the directory where .service files are installed
    (systems running systemd only)<br>
    SYSCONFFILE= #Name of the distributed file to be installed in
    $SYSCONFDIR<br>
    SYSCONFDIR= #Name of the directory where SysV init parameter files
    are installed.<br>
    ANNOTATED= #If non-empty, install annotated configuration files<br>
    VARDIR=/var/lib #Directory where product variable data is stored.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Note the reference to "init.slackware.firewall" because it never
    existed.&nbsp; This .shorewallrc file installs Shorewall-4-5.2.x just
    fine.<br>
